Ben Horan easily has the sickest backyard setup for wakeskating in the world. With a huge pool gap and 2 perfect hubbas what more could you need. Raging Pull was an event held by nike 6.0 to bring everyone out and just ride. Ben talks about why they went the route of just a ride day. Ben Horan is always on the fore front of progression of the sport with the rest of his team members and this is just an example of how crazy wakeskating is getting.

This event is just another example of nike 6.0 dedication to the sport. When everyone else wont help the sport when most needed Nike 6.0 stepped up to the plate by sponsoring some wakeskating's best riders and putting on great events for the sport. Everyone who attended the event went home a winner and happy. Check out all the action and go download aquafrolics. I do not know how many times I have to say it but really if you skateboard,snowboarding,bmx whatever you will enjoy the movie its a great example of what is possible on a wakeskate.

Matt Manzari has been busy recently as most big time wakeskaters are and was a little late getting his answers back to me. But Im gonna let it slide because I love Matt great guy. Matt Manzari is one of the riders who been around for a while and is always in question of what he's doing. People wanna know, People wanna see and in the new Aquafrolics from Nike 6.0 everyone has seen and they know! If you haven't already go download Aquafrolics it will change your life! http://www.nike.com/nke6/aquafrolics/

Pwieland: Will your part in aqua frolics be filled with different tricks considering you usually ride behind boat and Sea doo?

Matt:Yeah I had a ton of fun doing new stuff on gaps, and I liked trying tricks on the rails!

Pwieland: Will be seeing more whinching or boat riding from you in aquafrolics?

Matt:Mostly whinch I didn't really ride behind the boat at all. I really loved filming cause the gaps we went to were sick!

Pwieland: Your probably the manliest man on the 6.0 wakeskate team. Any manly things you did during the filming of aquafrolics to save the day?

Matt:Well I did see Ben rip a doorknob clear out of a door, soooooo I think thats the manliest thing!

The Nike 6.0 wake team have been hard at work lately filming fortheirnewest video "AquaFrolics". Traveling around the world shooting with filmmaker Matt Staker. With some of the most talented riders in the world the first nike wake video is sure to turn some heads. Check out the video of the team in the Philippines at the world famous CWC cable park.

Recently Reed Hansen and Matt Manzari came out to the projects to session the rail park. The water level has been abnormally high this year and most of the rails are quite small. Reed and Matt like to go big! Reed is one of the most consistent wakeskaters in the world. Wether its rails, boat or flat water Reed never fails to impress. One of Reed's newest tricks is popping kickflips onto rails. Who knows where Reed will take it from there. Flip tricks on Flip tricks out and the possibilities are endless.

Matt Manzari just recently switched over to CWB boards after riding for Gator for as long as anyone can remember after Cassette closing down. Matt always seems to be on a bi-level and with the new dual level board from CWB Matt is right at home. In similar form to Reed, Matt also got down on the incline. Front bigs out, Frontboard 270 shuv out, Backbig out, Front shuv out and so many more the guys are unstoppable on the familiar incline.

If you didn't already know Reed and Matt are best friends. If their in the same state I can tell you they are together. Riding together, hunting together, building their 4x4 trucks together, these guys are two peas in a pod. Its funny too that wakeskating was the common thing that brought them together in the beginning. So when your out riding this summer and meet another shredder who knows. You guys might end up being life long friends because of wakeskating.
